Petrucci with a one year contract: ‘First they want to see how it goes’

Every two years, the paddock begins to boil with rumors of contracts and negotiations due to the riders market, and this is the case because most of the contracts are two years old, but others are a year old, like Danilo Petrucci, for example. The italian assumes there is no drama about not having a two-year bond with the Ducati Team.

The rider spoke of the subject in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport:

– Ducati had this option. I think they want to see how it goes [before betting on a longer-lasting contract]. But this doesn’t change anything for me. If it goes well it will be in their interest to renew it with me. And then we can negotiate freely.

It should be remembered that the Ducati didn’t enter into deep negotiations with the ‘police’ because it already had the option to contract for a year, reason why it was limited to activate this option. The rider arrived in the class queen in 2012 by the hands of the Came IodaRacing Project. In 2015 he signed for Pramac and stayed there until the end of this season.
